For Real

the real martyrs volunteered 
their bodies for torture
suffered a terrible death
and they said father forgive them
just before their death

the real cowards they run away
just as fast as they can
they think that there some place to go
but that is fairy land

the real scriptures tell the truth 
the past, present and future
if you chose the wrong scripture
your messing with your future

My weaknesses scare me sometimes but I do believe if we do the best we can, and stay true to what we believe in be it Christian or any other faith we were raised to believe in, then our lives will serve a purpose. As Christians we believe God created all of us, Then we should have universal acceptance as true Christians. My religion stereotyped many, My faith does not. God Bless. Vince

Very witty, the way you put this one together, and I love the subject matter, nothing in this world is of greater importance. God bless Moses
